I would hold off on those beaver as long as you can or until they prime up (middle to end of December)
Go grab some muskrats and mink. Easier to work on and pay about the same price.
But I'm glad your getting out there like the rest of us.
I'm going to head out for rats the first of November.

only reason I'm hitting the beaver is to help out a local that is having major beaver damage. He wants them gone asap! I told him the first is the soonest I can help

Get them beavers and I think you will seal the deal for your bobcat bait bud!im hoping so. Plan to set up several pre bait sights aswell. Have already got a cam set up where my cat trap froze up and the cat ate some of my bait and flipped the trigger but door was frozen up. Few pics from my cat cams. Time and dates are wrong

man, I would love to get into some beavers, make a really good set of gloves. im only going to be around till the beginning of Jan, then I deploy till the spring. cant wait to see what you guys get into. and am I reading right that you can only use snares unless you're on a permit trap?no snares, no leg holds, nothing that grips tha animal. Only cage traps.
No telling what the cat market will do this year but I won't sell my first cat

well then, that really limits everything, how in the world so you use a cage to catch a beaver, muskrat or even a mink for that matter??man, I would love to get into some beavers, make a really good set of gloves. im only going to be around till the beginning of Jan, then I deploy till the spring. cant wait to see what you guys get into. and am I reading right that you can only use snares unless you're on a permit trap?no snares, no leg holds, nothing that grips tha animal.

I still want to try some large, trigger system double door traps (or open 3 door Kirk style traps) on well used Coyote trails. Lots of feathers, good lure & urine placement. Maybe even have to try live bait. I've read about it being done on the Trapperman forum. Probably gonna get one of them 3 legged or manged up *censored*s but who knows. Worth a try with the right traps

Bruce is probably right but let's be honest. None of us are in it for the $$. It would be nice to get some extra cash but none of us will ever get rich trapping. Some trappers might break even some day. As for coyote trapping I 'm still working on a coyote trap I think may at least catch a few. I know Wdfw has caught coyote in a large trap built from logs. I'd play more with large traps if we could trap cougar

If you can swing it start prebaiting where you are going to trap cats at do a whole skinned beaver and nail it to a big tree through the tail up high like 7 feet the cats can get it no problem but coyotes and skunks and such can't :twocents:will do. Thanks

The guy on the wild north gets guaranteed prices, is that a government subsidiezed fur program? And is that way fur prices are down because Canadians flood the market with thier subsidized furs? :dunno:
That dude makes a killing on Lynx furs.
Post by: JakeLand on December 01, 2016, 06:23:20 PM
Animals you can catch in pretty much any state floods the market so they're not worth a whole lot now animals that are only located in small areas and not a whole lot are caught in the broad scheme of things are worth more

very frustrating! Specially since this pond has pretty much eaten them selves out of house and home. Eating white fir. Was hoping to clean this pond out but they are so trap shy and now I got another miss. Just keep educating these beaver.

Was the door or pan frozen? Did you trigger the trap to seeno nothing was froze. Tested it 3 times... Flawless.
You can see my trigger wires are huge. Idk how a cat could even touch the bait with out triggering the trap, it's very sensitive. Door could not have been froze it had 1/2" clearance and all joints are heavily lubed with Vaseline along with the trigger and door latch, and locks. I'm at a loss. Hopefully it comes back tonight

And even if it wasn't a Civet they still get the blame. :chuckle:

Whenever anything is missing out of one of my traps I always blame it on the Civets.:chuckle: I'm pretty sure we don't have civet around here but I'm fine with blaming them lol

Are you sure it's a mink? Looks like a brown weasel.im pretty sure. Had a white chin and throat and signature scream and smell lol if it was a brown weasel it would still get the pass.
I did have a brown long tail on this bait sight last year but snout was longer and slender and slightly larger ears. This one had a sort snout and small ears

I'm trying real hard to lay off the rats this year. It's REALLY hard!I think rats are my fav thing to put up sofar.
Post by: Norman89 on January 23, 2017, 06:46:59 PM
I agree they are quick and easy and with a few areas set the come in faster then you can free up stretchers for the next batch! Speaking of which I am using old plastic political advertising signs this year. So far they work great thanks trapperman for that neat easy to make stretcher!I'm trying real hard to lay off the rats this year. It's REALLY hard!I think rats are my fav thing to put up sofar.

This is the worst I've had ever! It normally skips me even when everyone else around me gets it. But not this time.What say did you get it? The worst of it is usually 5 days.

2017: the year of leaky waders! My two buddy's and me have killed two sets of chest waders and three sets of hip waders in the last month!:yikes: what are you doing to them? Lol. I think mine is a seam leak, they where used when I got them last year. It's about time for new ones but $$ is tight for me this time of year!!! Hopefully a lil shoe goo will get me threw
Post by: Humptulips on January 28, 2017, 10:13:33 AM
If you really want something good to fix those waders get rid of the shoe goo and get some NP1 poly urethane sealant.
I've been using it for several years and it is the best stuff. It seals permanent and stays flexible. It seems to stick to about anything no matter how slick. I have even patched holes in the soles of my boots. It just never comes unstuck.
Downside is I only have been able to get it online and it only comes in gun grade. Also it takes a couple days to cure.
If you open the tube as usual after a while the entire tube will harden. Here's a trick to avoid that. Put the tube in the gun and puncture the tube near the back of the tube. Advance it enough to get what you want, then take the tube out and wrap it with duct tape to reseal it.
I would never go back to shoe goo or aqua seal or any of the other similar products
